My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Texas
We entered into a contract in January of 2018, to have an enclosed screen room and extended patio done on our home. Our contract states the job would be completed on or before 2/11/2018. We are now at the end of April and it is still not completed! The contractor has given us many excuses, ie:bad weather, workers being ill, car breakdowns, the list goes on and on. At this point most of the work is done, but there are still several issues remaining. He refuses to give us a committed completion date although we have repeatedly asked for one. We have one payment left with him when work is completed. My question is at this point I just want him gone, as we have been unable to use our yard at all since he started, and am willing to take care of the remaining issues either by hiring someone else or doing them myself.
What are my rights in this situation?
Has he violated the contract by not completing the job on the date specified? ( There were also other things in the contract that he did not comply with, ie: keeping worksite safe and clean, providing us with list of subcontractors and laborers he would be using)
Should I withhold final payment?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
